MICROBIOLOGY- Basic Bacteriology Flashcards
(238 cards)
This Bacterial structure gives rigid support, protects againts osmotic pressure
Peptidoglycan
This is the chemichal composition of peptydoglycan
Sugar backbone with peptide side chains
Which is the link between Sugar and peptide in the peptydoglycan?
Cross linked by transpeptidase
What is the difference in the membrane between gram positive and gram negatives?
Gram positive have cell wall/ cell memebrane
Gram negative have Outer membrane
In the gram positives works as the major surface antigen
Cell wall/ Cell membrane
This bacterial structure gives support to the cell membrane in gram positives
Peptudoglycan
This element on the cell wall in gram positives induces TNF and IL-1
Lipotheichoic acid
In Gram negatives this is the site of endotoxin and major surface antigen
Outer membrane
In gram negatives is consider the endotoxin
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)
In the outer membrane of gram negatives, who induces TNF and IL-1
Lipid A
This chemical compositon plays the role as the antigen in the outer membrane
O polysaccharide is the antigen
Unique to gram positives
Lipoteichoic acid
Unique to gram negatives
Endotoxin/LPS
Which is the function of plasma membrane in the bacterial structure?
Site of oxidative and transport enzymes
Which is the chemical composition of Plasma membrane?
Phospholipid bilayer
This bacterial structure manages the Protein synthesis
Ribosome
Which kind of subunits do the bacterias have?
50S and 30S Subunits
This is a characteristic just for gram negatives which consists of a space between the cytoplasmic membrane and outter membrane
Periplasm
What does the periplasm contains?
Many hydrolytic enzymes including β Lactamase
This Bacterial structure gives protection against phagocytosis
Capsule
Which is the chemical composition of capsule on the bacterial structure?
Polysacaccharide
Which Bacteria is the only exception on the chemical composition of the capsule?
Bacillus anthracis
Why is Bacillus anthracis the only exception on the chemical composition of the capsule?
Because it contains D glutamate instead of polysaccharide
Which importance does Pilus has in the bacteria structure?
Mediate adherence of bacterial to cell surface
